Closing the Rift

Closing the Rift

Closing the Rift is triggered in one of two ways. Either you need to find the lava-covered stone path in north Luculla, or it will trigger the first time you enter the Phantom Forest. Either way, Zixzag will appear and tell you the situation, and you'll need to deal with it by going to north Luculla (just past where he was if that's where you triggered it).

First, you need to prepare by buying a few things. Someone on your team needs a Tenebrium weapon. If you don't have one, and if you haven't upset the hidden Immaculate village in eastern Luculla, you can buy one from there.

If you have upset the village or can't afford one, you can make your own. As long as someone has at least a Blacksmithing Level 4, you can create a Tenebrium Bar by smelting Tenebrium Ore on a furnace, then click-drag the Tenebrium Bar onto the weapon.

Next, buy or create a large Invisibility potion. You'll only need one. Give it to whichever of your non-mages has the Tenebrium weapon, preferably the one with the best damage. Once you're ready, teleport to the Goblin Village Waypoint.

Go north through the village and into the sands of northern Luculla. You need to go to the north-central part of the area. You're heading to the stone path flanked by torches.

At the stone path, Zixzax tells you that there are three different paths that will get you to the large Blood Stone that is causing the problems. The easiest path to deal with is to the left. Carefully navigate the path and you'll encounter an Immaculate. If you can convince him that you're one of them, you can just continue along the path. If not, you'll have to fight, but the Immaculates are minor enemies and easily taken down.

Once you're at the end of the path, you'll see a green portal similar to the mirrors you dealt with below the Luculla Mines. Use it and you'll be teleported across the chasm of lava. Walk a few steps forward and you'll engage two Immaculates even if you successfully bypassed the Immaculates before. They're easy and will be taken down quickly.

Beyond the two Immaculates is a group of tiger-like void demons. Even with Tenebrium weapons, these enemies are invincible and cannot be killed. Stay a few steps away and do not engage them.

Instead, have your designated party member drink their invisibility potion. Run forward, turn right, and follow the path down. You'll find the large Blood Stone sitting among lava. You'll be able to strike it from a couple different places. Holy CTRL, then keep attacking it until it breaks. Once the Blood Stone is destroyed, all the void demons in the area will explode and die, and your Homestead will be left in peace.
